Beyond the Chart | Why is choosing a medical group so important?

Medicare Open Enrollment Special Series October is all about Medicare Open Enrollment, and we're kicking off the first of two special episodes designed to help you feel more informed when making your healthcare decisions. In this episode, we're joined by Rick Howells, Senior Vice President of Network and Business Development, and Patricia Hernandez, Director of Marketing, to talk about something that can sometimes be overlooked when choosing a Medicare Advantage plan—your medical group. What's the difference between your health plan and your medical group? How do they work together? And why does the medical group you choose matter when it comes to your doctors, specialists, referrals, preventive care, and other healthcare resources? We break it down and discuss what you should consider as you review your options during Medicare Open Enrollment. 📅 Medicare Open Enrollment runs October 15 through December 7. Want to learn more? Heritage Victor Valley Medical Group will be hosting Medicare educational workshops throughout the High Desert. Visit hvvmg.com/medicare to find an upcoming workshop and RSVP. And stay tuned for our second October Medicare episode, where we'll break down Medicare 101 and help make the basics a little easier to understand. Choose Your Doctor. Choose Your Plan.
